While all the cars managed good result across all four categories, the Jeep Cherokee suffered on the pedestrian testing with a score of 67 per cent. Euro NCAP was concerned about the edge of the bonnet and around the windscreen pillars.

Overall, the scores were  as expected, with the Mercedes CLA always likely to perform well in the tests thanks to its array of clever safety systems.

Meanwhile, the Peugeot 2008, based on the smaller 208 that was also given the full five stars was always expected to manage the full marks, too.
